The quotient equals the divisor, then the dividend equals the
(A) square root of the divisor
(B) divisor
(C) divisor^2
(D) quotient
Is it D?
Let's try that out.
9/3 = 3
16/4 = 4
D doesn't seem to work.
Is it C?
C does work, doesn't it?
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
Yes it does! Thank you!
:-) You're welcome.
To solve this question, we need to understand the relationship between the dividend, divisor, and quotient in division.
In division, the dividend is the number that is being divided, the divisor is the number we divide by, and the quotient is the result of the division.
According to the given statement, the quotient equals the divisor. So, mathematically, we can write this as:
Quotient = Divisor
Now, we need to find the relationship between the dividend and the other two values. We know that the quotient is the result of dividing the dividend by the divisor. Mathematically, this can be written as:
Dividend / Divisor = Quotient
Since the quotient and divisor are equal, we can replace the quotient with the divisor in the equation:
Dividend / Divisor = Divisor
To find the value of the dividend, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the divisor:
Dividend = Divisor x Divisor.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) divisor^2. The dividend is equal to the square of the divisor.
